"The Just Instruct"

No; I really think that there is much, much more to it! It is good to keep silent, if what you are going to say does not put forth instruction in what you want to teach; but it is far, far better to teach, by putting forth what is really in your heart. This is how we can demonstrate God's faithfulness and our imperfection; because in reality that is what our children really need to know. What do I mean? It is kind of like Paul, when he declared in Romans 7:15, "For that which I do, I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I." This instruction is good, and lets us know that there are no Superhero Saints; but just like the meaning for 'Just': an ordinary man can be honest before men and obedient to the laws of God; which really means: a man with faults can live justly. So, when we really want to teach our children about what it means to live just before God; then we need to instruct them in dealing with doubt. Because the reality is, that the doubt does exist; and because it does, they need to be instructed in how to deal with it, and not grow up thinking that you never had a problem with it. Then what happens, is that when they will experience doubt within their own hearts, they could be discouraged in their own personal walk with God, by thinking that there is something wrong with them, that you never had. But in a perfect Christian home, instruction is given about all that God is working in us, as He is working it in us; however, there are rarely these types of settings, because we are all just so caught up in what's going on with ourselves, to take the time and consider what God would have us share, while we are going through something. This is really what it means: to not just be a doer of the Word, but to be a doer of the Work; which means to be doing the Work of the Father, and in the capacity of a father; as a priest of your home; instructing with care and honesty what is the character of not only God, but also of ourselves. Giving instruction of what must be done to come against the doubt which will be present, instead of putting forth a persona that we have everything right with God; because in reality, we will only be deceiving ourselves; the real you will be revealed in one way or another; so why not just put it out there through instruction? We have been given instruction for our own lives, and we must 'Pass the Torch'... "If so be that ye have heard Him, and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus: That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness." (Ephesians 4:21-24)
